“Sociopath, psychopath… any of the paths, not great”. This week, the gals keep their distraction local in discussing the disappearance of Helen Kendall. Helen seemingly disappeared without a trace in 1952 from her home in Elma Township. However, after almost a decade of thinking she may have simply left on her own accord, a more nefarious and concerning story comes out. What happened to Helen, though? Tune in to find out more.
